Sharp and DoCoMo have developed a mobile phone that allows users to enter and start the engine of a car without using conventional keys. Nissan and Sharp has now integrated these electronic intelligent-key, wireless communications and electromagnetic technologies into the new handset. The phone, built by Sharp Corp., uses a technology previously developed by Nissan Motor Co. called “Intelligent Key” that allows drivers enter and start their cars without removing their keys from their pockets or bags.
The service will work on the mobile network operated by NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan’s largest mobile operator. The three firms will continue to develop the product with an aim for commercial distribution in early fiscal year 2009.
